BPS Microstates and the Open Topological String Wave Function
Mina Aganagic, Andrew Neitzke, Cumrun Vafa
It has recently been conjectured that the closed topological string wave function computes a grand canonical partition function of BPS black hole states in 4 dimensions: Z_BH=|psi_…
Topological strings and their physical applications
Andrew Neitzke, Cumrun Vafa
We give an introductory review of topological strings and their application to various aspects of superstrings and supersymmetric gauge theories. This review includes developing th…
N=2 strings and the twistorial Calabi-Yau
Andrew Neitzke, Cumrun Vafa
We interpret the A and B model topological strings on CP^{3|4} as equivalent to open N=2 string theory on spacetime with signature (2,2), when covariantized with respect to SO(2,2)…
Greybody factors at large imaginary frequencies
Andrew Neitzke
Extending a computation which appeared recently in hep-th/0301173, we compute the transmission and reflection coefficients for massless uncharged scalars and gravitational waves sc…
Asymptotic black hole quasinormal frequencies
Lubos Motl, Andrew Neitzke
We give a new derivation of the quasinormal frequencies of Schwarzschild black holes in d>=4 and Reissner-Nordstrom black holes in d=4, in the limit of infinite damping. For Schwar…
Large N Strong Coupling Dynamics in Non-Supersymmetric Orbifold Field Theories
Robbert Dijkgraaf, Andrew Neitzke, Cumrun Vafa
We give a recipe relating holomorphic quantities in supersymmetric field theory to their descendants in non-supersymmetric Z_2 orbifold field theories. This recipe, consistent with…
